Forecasts

Different Beat (9/2), Robyndeglory (9/2), Shantou Warrior (5/1), Anno Maximo (5/1), Attalco (11/2), Ben Thomson (7/1), Shantou Lucky (9/1), The Chapel Field (9/1), Petrol Head (11/1), Kilgorey (12/1), Musical Ava (16/1), Minella Away (18/1), Fix The Bill (18/1), Massons Castle (22/1), Beat Of The Sea (25/1), Cloak Of Darkness (33/1), Wee Small Hours (40/1)

DIFFERENT BEAT caught the eye in first-time headgear when sixth of 16 at Thurles recently so could be worth chancing off the same mark. Robyndeglory and Anno Maximo head the dangers.
